Concerning its Capture In the Battle Before A..
Ianta.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your issue
OF the 10th ult. there appears an article from
Col. Albert q. Bracket, Sd u. s. Cav, Des
Moins Iowa. wherein he says that J. f. Fehren-
baker, Of Illinois Is in error when he SAYS that
Battery Il, ID L. S. Art, commanded by Lieut..
Albert NJ Murray and Lieut. Breckenridge, was
not all captured July %, 1864, at Atlanta. ]
say, too, that MIR. Fehrenbal1er is mistaken and
know whereof speak, as / was a swing driver
on Serg't kirklands section Of that battery ON
said day, and was one of the ~ drivers and one
cannoneer who were taken prisoners there with
the battery and taken TO Andersonville.
Breckenridge and Murray were both captured
The latter received a wound in the head which
i presume caused his death at Macon, Ga
Col. Bracket Is correct when he saws that the
battery was entirely unguarded while we were
moving through the woods. i remember very
distinctly that before we could get our piece
out from where we were formerly in position
facing Atlanta, had a hard task in cutting a
sapling with a terribly dull ak so that we could
pull over IL, as our gun bad caught on it, The
shells, cannon-ball and bullets were falling
thick and fast, and presume this made my ak
seem much duler than il really was Had we
known then what we found outshortly after we
had better have got ourselves out. We had
gone but short distance into the woods when
We ioOelNeu terrific Nollcy winch played sad
havoc with us, killing our horses and men. /
can now remember only few Of their names,
but among the killed were Serg't Mclntre and
Jos. Steel, who was on detached service from
the Sth Wis. 1.-THE old Eagle" regiment).

serving on detached service i'm Battery II from

For Good PURPOSES

Mrs. NJ. A. Dauphin, of Philadelphia, is well
known to the ladies of that city from the great
good she has done by means of Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. She writes Mrs.
Pinkham Of recent interesting case. "a
young married lady came to me suffering with
severe case of Prolapsus and liberation. She
commenced taking the Compound, and in two
months was fully restored. In proof of this she
soon found herself in an interesting condition.
Influenced by foolish friends. she attempted to
evade the responsibilities of maturity. After
ten or twelve days she came to me again, and
she was indeed in most alarming state and
suffered terribly. 1 gave her tablespoonful
of the Compound every hour for eight hours
until she fell asleep; she awoke much relieved
and evidently better. She continued taking
the Compound, and in due season she became
the mother of fine healthy boy. But for the
timely use of the medicine she believes her
life would have been lost"

Of Mr.. GOULD and his associates, and

A respected correspondent propounds to
us the following political problem:
please inform me just why WHITNEY is
strong where CLEVELAND is weak Isn't It true
that WHITNEY follows In the footsteps Of
CLEVELAND in the matter Of appointments
The Navy Department to-day contains the
same old Republican barnacles who fourished
under SEcoR robson, DICK THOMPSON, and
ADoLpHE BoRIH. am opposed to promoting
any Democrat who fails to live up to the doc
trines Of JEFFERSON and JACKSON"
We can assure our correspondent that Score
tary WHITNEY is not responsible for any failure
to dismiss Republicans from the public service
and put In Democrats. He Is not independent.
He Ii under orders. He must obey the Presi-
dent. At the same time he Is JEFTERsoN and
JACKSON Democrat, and 1t is the knowledge Of
this fact, combined with observation Of his
practical administrative abilities as they have
been displayed in the other work Of the Navy
Department. that makes him strong with Dem
oorats where the President is weak.
